Helen Hoang is an American author who emerged in the literary scene with her best-selling debut novel The Kiss Quotient. Known by her distinctive voice in the romance genre, Hoang has captivated readers with her unique characters and engaging storytelling.

Before she became known for her writing, Hoang was that shy person who never talks—until she does, often saying the least expected things. Her love for romance novels began in eighth grade and has been a constant in her life ever since. In an inspiring twist of fate, her own diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, aligning with what was previously referred to as Asperger's Syndrome, in 2016 played a pivotal role in the creation of her debut novel.

Hoang currently resides in San Diego, California, where she lives with her husband, two children, and a pet fish. Her experiences and challenges have not only shaped her writing but have also resonated with many of her readers, making her a notable figure in contemporary romance literature.
